Hearty breakfast, fiddle tunes and photos at Leedy Grange

Join your friends and neighbors for a great breakfast and some old-time entertainment on Saturday, February 19 at the Leedy Grange Hall, 8 am to 1 pm.

Grange members will be serving up your choice of biscuits topped with home-made sausage gravy or fresh-grilled French Toast and sausages. And the prices are an incredible bargain at $6 for a large portion of either choice and $3 for a small. Bring the whole family and stoke up for your weekend.

To liven up the morning, the Oregon Old-time Fiddlers will be offering their lively tunes in the Main Hall from 10 am to noon. We'll also mount our popular exhibit of historic Cedar Mill photos, courtesy of Nancy Olson, co-author of the Cedar Mill History book. If you haven't seen them, you will enjoy these reminders of how Cedar Mill looked in the not-so-distant old days.

Alpenrose Dairy is donating the cream for the gravy. We're getting a good deal on sausages from Zenner's, and the biscuits are the same yummy Bob's Red Mill Scratch Biscuits that we use for the Shortcake Social that's held every June. Orange juice and plenty of good coffee will be available throughout the morning.

Funds are being raised for the Washington-Yamhill Pomona, the regional organization that supervises and aids the Granges in those counties. The "WaYa" Pomona is part of District 3, which will be hosting the State Grange convention in 2012. Money raised will help pay for the convention space and other expenses when we host Grangers from around the state.

Quilt and blanket winners

Theresa Thorud, Leedy Grange member and Pomona Lecturer, conducted a county-wide raffle for a beautiful handmade quilt and a Pendleton blanket to raise funds for the Pomona Grange. Mert Powell of McMinnville won the quilt, and Larry Wells of Sherwood won the blanket.
